Rihanna strips naked for GQ as she reveals she is turned on by dominant men

It might have been more of a shock if she'd decided to keep her clothes on.
But with a body like hers, pop star Rihanna can hardly be blamed for stripping off at every opportunity.
And what better place to show off her curves than the front cover of upmarket U.S. men's magazine GQ?

Nothing to hide: Rihanna lets it all hang out as she strips off for the cover of the new issue of U.S. GQ

The Barbadian singer, 24, posed completely naked, with just a jacket flung over her shoulders, for the publication's December 2012 issue.
A strategically placed shadowed arm kept Rihanna from losing her modesty, but there was plenty still on show.
Her collection of tattoos could be seen, while she wore her cropped hair simple and flat against her head.
Asked by the magazine what turns her on, Rihanna explained that she likes the man to be in charge in her relationships.
'I like to feel like a woman,' she said.

What a surprise: Rihanna, seen performing on the runway for Victoria's Secret last week, is hardly known for covering up

'I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead.
'I could absolutely be dominant, but in general, I'd rather... How do I say this in, like, a non-X rated version?
And she: 'Love makes you go places you probably wouldn't ever go, had it not been for love. But I think everybody still has their limits.'

For now Rihanna is single, following the end of her reported rekindled romance with Chris Brown.

The two were thought to be giving their failed relationship another shot, but Rihanna shot down the rumours during a Facebook Live interview this week, saying: No. Not together.'
Brown, 23, was convicted of assaulting Rihanna after the 2008 Grammy Awards and was consequently ordered to complete community service and a domestic violence program.

But the two have been repeatedly pictured together after mending their freindship and will even duet on the track Nobodies Business on her new album Unapologetic which is due to be released on November 19. 

Rihanna is currently focused on the the launch of the album.

To promote the album, her seventh, she will play surprise gigs in seven European cities in seven days  on her 777 tour.
